Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the microwave.
- To freeze, increase chicken broth to 4 cups and ranch seasoning to 2.5 tablespoons, and use 10 ounces of cream cheese for extra sauce.
- Cook pasta to al dente (about 10 minutes) before freezing to maintain proper texture when reheated.
- Thaw frozen portions fully before reheating slowly on the stovetop, covering and stirring occasionally until heated through.
- Add bacon and cheese as a finishing touch after reheating for best texture and flavor.
